Troubleshooting
Audio playback sounds fast or slow when I am using the digital input as
the clock source.
When the digital input is selected as the clock source, the Lynx L22’s sample clock will
run at the sample rate of the incoming digital input signal. In the case when the sample
rate of this signal is 48 kHz and a file being played was actually recorded at 44.1 kHz,
the audio will playback fast. To solve this problem either change the sample rate of the
device driving the digital input or select Internal as the sample clock source using the
Lynx L22 mixer.
How do I minimize record monitor latency when I am doing overdubs?
Use the Lynx L22’s on-board monitor circuitry. This is controlled by the Lynx L22
mixer.
What does the green LED on the Lynx L22 indicate?
When lit, the LED indicates successful initialization of the Lynx L22 and the driver.
When I connect the Lynx L22 analog outputs to the MIC inputs on my
Mackie mixer I hear distortion.
The MIC inputs are being overdriven. Even with the mic gain adjusted to its lowest
setting, the maximum signal level that the MIC inputs of the smaller Mackie mixers
can handle is +14 dBu. In the +4 dBu trim setting, the Lynx L22 is capable of delivering
a +20 dBu signal. To solve this problem use 1/4” line inputs of the mixer. This requires
the use of XLR to TRS adapters as described in the “External Connections” section.
I connect my microphone directly to the Lynx L22 Analog Input
connectors, but the level is very low, what is going on?
The Lynx L22 Analog Input connectors should be connected line level devices only.
To record from a microphone, first route the signal through a microphone pre-amplifier
or mixer and then into the Lynx L22.
Where on the Lynx L22 do I connect my internal CD-ROM drive?
The Lynx L22 has no connector for an internal CD-ROM drive. We recommend using
digital audio extraction software to capture the audio data from your CD’s and saving
it to your hard disk drive as .WAV files. Using this method, the audio files can be
played back using the D/A converters on the Lynx L22 which have far superior
performance to those found in most CD-ROM drives. If your CD-ROM/DVD drive
can reliably extract digital audio then you could use Windows Media Player (Version 7
or higher) to extract digital audio from CDs and play it in real-time with no physical
connection between the Lynx L22 and the CD-ROM drive.
Can I leave my current sound card in my computer while using the Lynx
L22?
You may leave your existing sound card in your computer as long as you have a free
PCI slot and interrupt for the Lynx L22. You may need to reconfigure certain software
to access the Lynx L22 instead of your existing sound card. Please refer to the “Working
with Third Party Applications” section for details.
